Torah 144-145: Two different takes explaining a midrash which says: “a man doesn’t die with half of his desires in his hand.”

Torah 146: Rabeinu gives an awesome answer to a very deep question: if the Torah is called in the aspect of a woman, and if a woman isn’t allowed to give a testimony, then why is the Torah called “Testimony of G-d” (Tehillim 19)?

Torah 147: Rabeinu gives us a teaching outlining the differences between holy boldness and evil boldness.

Torah 148: Rabeinu teaches us that the trait of fear itself has fear of G-d, and that there are infinite levels of fear…

Torah 141: The best time to circumcise the heart is the month of Elul. Rabeinu teaches us that as long as the heart isn’t circumcised, we can’t begin to truly feel regret and anguish over our sins…

Torah 140: Rabeinu explains that the same way we can’t directly read a seal/stamp is also true of the Tzadik, of who we have no conception/grasp. Rabeinu says that the only way to grasp the greatness of the Tzadik is through his students…

Rabeinu teaches us such an awesome chiddush: greeting the festivals with joy and a good heart saves a person from pride. Rabeinu explains this by saying that the holiness of the Yom tov is dependent upon the Tzadikim and when one attaches himself to the Tzadik, he nullifies his ego (because something small will always nullify itself to something greater). Therefore, when one accepts the Yom Tov with simcha, he lowers himself before the Yom tov and is able to truly attain lowliness/humility (look inside the lesson for the full explanation).

Rabeinu also connects this idea with a statement saying that one who attaches himself to the Tzadik can truly feel the holiness of the holidays. And how does one attach himself to the Tzadik? Loving the Tzadik!!

Rabeinu also brings the story of Shmuel Hanavi and Agag, king of Amalek, and why he cut Agag into 4 pieces. Rabeinu also teaches us how we are able to elevate the Holy Malkhut from the rule of the evil forces, how to elevate Fear of Heaven, how to open up the womb of a woman who has difficulty having birth, etc…

Torah 133: Rabeinu teaches us that sometimes something so small can block our vision from seeing something so great, even when that awesome thing is standing right in front of us. The same is true of the Torah and the Tzadikim: their light is constantly shining but the vanities of this world (which in comparison to the Torah is thousands and myriads smaller than the light of holiness) is blocking out our eyes from seeing this great light!

Torah 134: Rabeinu teaches us that teaching Torah in public or to a single person can be very dangerous. This is because sharing something which isn’t fitting for the listener to hear can result in committing sexual immorality, G-d forbid.

Torah 129: Rabeinu teaches us that when something gets eaten, the nourishment literally becomes part of the one who’s nourished… the same is true of one who’s attached to the Tzadik with the desire to come close to G-d, that this person becomes literally eaten by the Tzadik. This also applies to the land of Israel, etc…

Torah 130: Rabeinu teaches us how humility saves a person from sexual immorality and how pride makes a person fall into blemishing the covenant, G-d forbid.

Torah 131: Rabeinu teaches us that one must have lots of fear for the concept of honor, because honor has the power to judge a person and even cause someone to die, Heaven forbid.

Torah 117: Rabeinu explains why people have a difficult time sleeping Saturday night and how this has to do with the revelation of Eliyahou Hanavi and being granted Da’at Saturday night…

Torah 118: Rabeinu teaches us that when we learn Torah, it is good to explain and review the words of Torah in the language we understand. Rabeinu explains that the only reason we need to do this is because of our sins and Rabeinu connects this concept to the suffering of the Tzadik/Mashiach!

Torah 119: Rabeinu explains that through the Shabbat a person is granted Da’at, which enables him to have mercy on someone else, finally giving this person the fitting vessel to accept the compassion from Heaven that he is in need of.

Torah 120: Rabeinu proves to us from the Torah why it’s necessary to travel to the Tzadik and not just study from his books…

Torah 113: Rabeinu brings us a chiddush in the name of the Baal Shem Tov who tells us that before G-d brings any decree into the world, He asks the world and the man who the judgment is on whether he agrees to it or not…

Torah 114: Rabeinu explains that hidden Tzadikim are able to draw down abundant good to the world because people don’t create strife and ask questions against this Tzadik (because he’s hidden). Rabeinu teaches us how strife against the famous Tzadikim is very beneficial to them and enables them to bring down abundance without accusations.

Torah 115: Rabeinu teaches us a principle that every Jew who wants to serve G-d must know: when a person begins to return to G-d, he is forced to face obstacles that prevent him from walking on an upright path. The reason for this is because G-d loves justice, and His trait of judgement is accusing this person saying that he isn’t worthy of coming close to G-d after all the bad he has done in his life. But G-d, loves the Jewish people more than His love for judgement, so He hides Himself within the obstacle so that the person should find Him within the test…

Torah 116: Rabeinu teaches us why Charity saves a person from sin…

Torah 112: Rabeinu gives us a novelty on Parashat Noach: he connects G-d’s orders on how to build the ark with the concept of being truthful. He brings a verse from the parasha and shows us how this verse hides the most awesome advice for when a person finds himself unable to pray and find his way out of darkness.…

Rabeinu goes on to tell us that through this advice that he gives in this lesson one is able to be a genuinely upright person all the days of his life, and to reinforce himself constantly with hope that he can always emerge out of the darkness/exile he finds himself in.
